With its diverse population and growing demand for English language proficiency, Malaysia provides numerous opportunities for TEFL teachers. Here’s an overview of what to expect in terms of teaching opportunities, salary, vacation, bonuses, housing support, and healthcare:
Teaching Opportunities: TEFL teachers in Malaysia can find employment in language schools, international schools, private tutoring, and corporate training programs. There’s a steady demand for English language instruction, particularly in urban areas like Kuala Lumpur, Penang, and Johor Bahru. Additionally, there are opportunities to teach various age groups, from young learners to adult professionals.
Salary: TEFL teachers in Malaysia typically receive a competitive salary that allows for a comfortable lifestyle. Salaries vary depending on factors such as qualifications, experience, and the type of institution. On average, TEFL teachers can expect to earn between RM 3,000 to RM 6,000 (US $635 – $1,270) per month. International schools often offer higher salaries and additional benefits.
Vacation: Most TEFL teaching positions in Malaysia offer paid vacation time, typically ranging from two to four weeks per year. Schools usually follow the Malaysian academic calendar, which includes breaks for major holidays such as Chinese New Year, Hari Raya, and Christmas.
Bonus: Some schools and language centers may offer performance-based bonuses or annual bonuses as part of their compensation package. These bonuses can vary in amount and frequency depending on the employer.
Housing Support: Many employers provide housing support for TEFL teachers, either by offering accommodation or a housing allowance. This benefit can significantly reduce living expenses and make the transition to living in Malaysia smoother. Accommodations are often furnished and located in convenient areas close to schools or public transportation.
Healthcare: TEFL teachers in Malaysia are typically required to have health insurance coverage. Some employers may offer health insurance benefits as part of the employment package, covering medical expenses for both routine care and emergencies.

Airfare: The provision of airfare for foreign teachers to Malaysia varies depending on the employer and the specific terms of the employment contract.

However, it’s important for prospective TEFL teachers to carefully review the terms and conditions of their employment contract to understand what benefits are included. In some cases, teachers may be responsible for arranging and covering the cost of their airfare to Malaysia.
Generally, larger institutions such as international schools or language academies are more likely to offer airfare assistance as part of their recruitment package, especially if they actively seek to attract qualified teachers from abroad. Smaller language centers or private tutoring arrangements may not provide this benefit.
Regardless of whether airfare is provided, TEFL teachers considering a position in Malaysia should factor in the potential costs of relocation and consider negotiating travel allowances or reimbursement with their prospective employers during the hiring process.

Meet Our iTTi Kuala Lumpur TEFL Team
Embarking on my journey as an educationist from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, I never imagined that my path would lead me to become a teacher trainer at iTTi Kuala Lumpur, fulfilling a lifelong dream. Coming from a middle-class background, the idea of owning my academy seemed far-fetched until I received guidance and support from mentors Tacito Cury and Adriana Blumberg.
My journey began with teaching in several international schools, where I gained valuable experience in the IGCSE and IPC syllabi. However, my pursuit of further education took me to the United States, where I enrolled in a Masters in Education program at Wayne State University. The diverse environment of Wayne State University provided me with opportunities to work, learn, and grow.
Working under the organization Warrior VIP at Wayne State University, I was exposed to a diverse student population and engaged in activities such as meetings, student observation, mentoring, and conferences. These experiences not only helped me develop resilience but also boosted my self-esteem and passion for education.
Returning to Kuala Lumpur, I found myself at iTTi Kuala Lumpur, where I could finally utilize my native-like English skills and educational knowledge as a TEFL course instructor. I am privileged to train future EFL teachers and provide them with the opportunity to become TESOL-certified. I also support the graduates in landing their ultimate place of employment as English teachers in their desired destination. Opportunities abound everywhere. I am excited to welcome more TEFL students to join our global teacher education organization and embark on a fulfilling career in teaching. Kuala Lumpur offers a vibrant environment for teacher education, and I am eager to see more teachers embrace this lifetime opportunity.
In conclusion, my journey from an educationist in Kuala Lumpur to a TEFL teacher trainer at iTTi Kuala Lumpur has been filled with challenges and triumphs. Through perseverance and determination, I have realized my professional dream and am now dedicated to empowering others to do the same in the dynamic field of teaching English as a foreign language.
